A Dozen Random Thoughts for A Snowy Winter's Evening

1. Have you ever noticed how one bad actor in a scene makes every other actor in the scene seem like a bad actor?

2. It really bothers me how women in our society seem to carry around such a huge load of guilt because they assume responsibility for the behavior of other people. Who taught us to do that and why aren't we changing it?

3. I hate how my TV gets so blaring loud when something exciting is happening but when there is dialogue you can't hear a darned thing.

4. I also hate when my toes are so cold they seem like they'll never be warm again.  

5. I didn't make my bed today and now I dread getting into it later.  I know I could go make it now, but it's already dark so it's just not the same.  Is this some kind of bed-making OCD?  Should I be worried?

6. I can't figure out why my dog will not chew on a chew toy but seems to love chewing on everything else.  Also, why does he pee on the black and white rug?

7. It is very uncomfortable when a senior client gets all flirty and weird and I don't quite know how to respond in a way that discourages such behavior without seeming rude and unkind.  I need to work on setting that boundary without coming across as hostile 'cause it really does annoy me and I'm afraid my annoyance is too obvious to everyone except the guy who is being inappropriate.

8. I really wish I could pull off the geeky-borderline goth girl with glasses look, but I think I'm too old.  That really sucks.

9. I think James Spader plays the same character in every movie/show he's in.

10. I roll my eyes a lot without realizing it.  Bad habit.  It makes me seem condescending and inconsiderate.  Okay, so sometimes I am condescending and inconsiderate...but I shouldn't be so obvious about it.

11.  If it keeps snowing I am going to weigh 400 pounds before Spring.

12. There are way too many people in this world who are so screwed up in the head that they damage other people just by being who they are. I will never be able to understand how God lets this happen to anyone.  It frustrates and depresses me so I never think about it for any longer than it took me to write it down.
